HEMET, Calif. (AP) - The Hemet police chief says the department is on heightened alert following the latest threat against police officers.
Police Chief Richard Dana says an unidentified person called a 911 operator at about 5:45 p.m. Friday and said a police car would be blown up in the Hemet-San Jacinto area in the next 24 to 48 hours. The caller said the attack would be in retaliation for the law enforcement sweep against the Vagos Motorcycle Club earlier this week.
A Riverside County sheriff's spokeswoman says the department has not been able to confirm the threat.
There have been several booby trap attacks on officers in recent weeks including a rigged gas line and an explosive device attached to a patrol car. So far no one has been hurt.
